Sounds like the high pressure oil pump or whatever it's called that routes oil the the injectors. Look specifically in the intake valley for pools of oil. Does it run well?

i found the leak. it is leaking out the seal right under the harmonic balancer. not the main seal the oil pan seal.

That sucks, pulling the pan off on that is going to be a major PITA, motor may have to come out.
